I downloaded andFTP and put some pictures on my phone from my home PC. they are all JPGs and can be seen in the root of the phone in File Manager but the photo gallery isnt recognizing them. SOLVED KIND OF. I had to restart the phone and it recognizes them now, is the normal? is there a way to prompt a media scan?

Hi. I think if you unmount and then remount the sdcard, it prompts a scan.
